Yunnan Baihao Yinzhen Silver Needle – Honeyed Hybrid-Cultivar White Tea

Baihao Yinzhen, also known as Silver Needle, is one of the most treasured styles of Chinese white tea. Traditionally, it's closely associated with Fujian, China, but this unique version is made from a Yunnan-origin cultivar that was transplanted to Fujian and further hybridized, creating a distinctive expression of this classic tea.

Hand-picked from premium early spring single buds, this white tea is crafted using traditional methods without frying or rolling. The tender buds are naturally withered, gently spread and carefully dried at low temperature to preserve their original character, delicate aroma and smooth taste. The dry buds are plump, straight and covered with fine silvery-white pekoe hairs, giving them a bright, glossy silver appearance. Made from 100% natural tea buds with no additives or blending, it's a pure expression of fine white tea.
